About Marlies Ledbetter

Marlies Fitch Ledbetter, CPC

CEO and Founder
CERTIFIED CANNABIS CONSULTANT AND TRAINER

–
Our fearless leader, motivational speaker, and cannabis expert. And she isn’t afraid to dose you mid-sentence. Her passion, enthusiasm, community impact and thirst for knowledge makes us proud to call her “The CannaBoss”

Marlies is a member of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians and has over 1000 practicing hours in cannabis advisement and guidance.  The Indie team has helped assist over 1000 clients directly and over 5000 clients indirectly through education, recommendations and guidance virtually.  And we continually bridge the gap with general practitioners by offering CBD and cannabis therapy guidance through integrations into medical practices.

With tens of thousands that look to her for guidance and recommendations across the country, she has cemented her place in education and advisement as a holistic practitioner and coach.  A forever student and well read expert in cannabis medicine, sound therapy, transformation coaching and alternative plant healing sources, she partners with practitioners, health centers and connects with online consumers to assist people in getting their health back.  She believes in uncovering every stone possible….even the ones that most people would never think to turn over.  

With over 20 years seeking an answer to her issues, it became clear that there was a lot of misinformation out there, especially within the medical community itself.  She felt a calling to working with natural products and adapted a toxic free lifestyle fully.  With programs and guidance available to the masses, she hopes this will help guide people quicker to finding THEIR answers.  Now Marlies is a national leader in the plant medicine industry and she fearlessly works as a trainer, micro/macro-dosing advisor, motivational speaker, lobbyist, veterans access supporter, medical advocate and leading consumer use expert.

Marlies has received mentorship from world leading Doctors and certifications in Medical Cannabis Advisement, Psychedelic Sciences, Transformation Coaching, Functional Health Sciences and Sound therapy.  She has over 1000 hours in private seminars and courses. She has been featured in magazines, newspapers, news specials and as a guest of several podcasts and video segments. She has completed courses through several university systems on Plant Medicine and Holistic Practices.  She attended Baylor University for Music, Psychology and Communications Studies.  She continues her education every year through Society of Cannabis Clinicians, American Cannabis Nurses Association and Healer.

Marlies is working on 2 books to be released in 2024.  In her transformational coaching consultancy at www.marliesledbetter.com she has developed 12 week to one year training and coaching programs.  She holds training through many programs for tens of thousands of advocates and cannabis consultants across the country.  

Marlies is a Presidential Founder of Green Compass Global, a USDA Certified Organic company that manages every aspect of the production process, from Farm to Family, with 6th generations of farmers, expertly growing and cultivating our proprietary strains at Green Compass Farms LLC in Chadborn, NC.  They are also involved in hemp farming education, research and development at Universities in North Carolina.  She helps guide the field with education, sales training, motivational speaking and market expansion.  

“The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you know nothing about.” She aims to change every heart and mind about Cannabis and fights for the rights to make this plant a medicine for ALL people. Marlies says her impact radiates through the passion she commits to the movement and education of cannabis every single day.
